CEO of Tesla, SpaceX, and X (formerly Twitter). Entrepreneur focused on sustainable energy, space exploration, and AI development. Elon Musk positions AI as both humanity’s greatest existential risk and its most transformative tool, advocating for "maximally truth-seeking" systems that prioritize transparency and honesty to avoid dystopian outcomes. He predicts AI will surpass human intelligence by 2026 and envisions a future with 10 billion humanoid robots, emphasizing the need for proactive regulation and AI alignment to prevent "Moloch traps" of misaligned incentives. Musk’s unconventional trajectory includes merging human cognition with AI as a "tertiary layer," blending biological and digital intelligence to preserve human relevance, while paradoxically warning that unchecked AI could render human life meaningless.
